seem to be a harbaugh weak point. his well known sideline intensity is part of 49ers legend. >> we are excited when he is yelling at the referee. >> reporter: it's something the players say they don't just hear, they feel it. does it give you an edge? >> absolutely. he gets fired up, i think everybody gets fired up. we sue your head coach out there running around banging on guys, that's what you want to see to get you ready to go. >> his energy is so high. he keeps it that way. and it's a good thing because we can all feed off it. >> reporter: and one thing coach harbaugh told his players today, ken, he wants them to enjoy the competition of the game which is really what it's all about when the ball gets kicked off and they go up and down the field and they start banging heads together, he wants them to enjoy the intensity of that competition, the championship of professional football. >> yeah. so many teams never get back. better enjoy while you're there. len ramirez in santa clara,

police are planning a little play a little zone defense. right? >> reporter: the mission will get heavy police coverage in this area. come game day, you remember fans set bonfires throughout the city including one at mission and 19th streets when the giants won the worlds. and so that's why the police department will have a lot of folks here to make sure this zone, this area, will be contained. the san francisco police department has its game plan down for super bowl sunday. chief greg suhr tells me he will have two operations, one group of police officers will respond to regular service calls and then bring in a second group of officers mostly on overtime to handle post-game celebrations. >> we bring in all the other officers for crowd management. >> reporter: he wouldn't give a number but says it will be well over 100 officers.

those officers will patrol the known hot spots, such as broadway street, polk and the marina. they will pay special attention to the mission. historically, the mission district has attracted huge crowds. this was how it looks after the giants won the last world series. not even the pouring rain could dampen the celebration. >> a lot of younger people here, you know, and a lot of the bars and restaurants have parties that are going on. >> and generally this neighborhood is a little more tolerant of a little bit of debauchery. >> reporter: many people hope fans citywide will celebrate responsibly after some fans were out of hand during the last world series celebration. >> the bonfire scares me the most because this is an old city with wooden buildings. and if something got out of hand, it could spread fast. >> reporter: chief suhr says the reason there were so many bonfires during the last celebration? >> somebody lost traffic of the

-- somebody lost traffic. fact that it was track of the fact fact that it was garbage night so there was just a lot of fuel at the curb. >> reporter: he says this time they will make sure the trash pickup will be done before game time. there will be diesel buses on sunday so drivers could drive away from rowdy crowds. live in the mission district, i'm da lin, cbs 5. >> in our super bowl news we have learned late this afternoon stevie wonder is the latest performer to be playing in new orleans over the super bowl weekend. he will play a concert the night before the game. a spokesman says wonder will be joined by blues legend gary clark and rapper pit bull. much more super bowl coverage still ahead at 6:00. a look into the mind of 49er quarterback colin kaepernick. his parents tell us what makes him such a fierce competitor. also in the news tonight a potential change in state law could mean saving the lives of

mountain lions that wander too far into our neighborhoods. cbs 5 reporter elissa harrington tells us a number of options are on the table. >> this bill actually becomes a wake-up call a signal a message to every citizen of california to think differently about lions. >> reporter: it was early last month that two lion cubs were killed by game wardens in half moon bay. at the time, they were deemed dangerous to the public. but they were later found to be only four months old weighing less than 15 pounds each. the incident caused an uproar. the director of the department of fish and wildlife said he regretted the shooting and now senator jerry hill of san mateo introduced senate bill 132, legislation that could reform mountain lion encounters. >> the bill requires wardens to pursue nonlethal options when humans are not at risk. >> reporter: the animals would be rehabilitated and relocated. right now, guidelines allow any lion that comes into human contact to be killed.

rehabilitation of big cats is currently illegal in california. the mountain lion foundation offered examples of five nonliele that procedures: one, capturing mountain lions using bait on traps. two, pursuing a lion until it's cornered. three, using tranquilize guns or pills. four, monitoring the animals with collars or surgical implants. and five, hazing, using loud noises like sirens. they would also partner with veterinarians and other organizations who are experiences dealing with wildlife. >> i believe our fish and wildlife wardens do an outstanding job every day under harsh conditions and with limited resources. so what we're doing is trying to offer them the tools that they can put in their toolbox when they encounter mountain lions. >> reporter: a spokesman from a rescue group said no matter what happens to the bill they plan to obtain 10 acres for mountain lion rehabilitation if

surcharge. we first broke the story exclusively eating out in san franciscan mean you will pay extra for a healthcare surcharge. we broke this story exclusively several months ago that restaurants were collecting cash from customers but not making it available to employees. our investigation first uncovered a few restaurants that were breaking the law. today, we're learning from the city attorney the problem is more widespread. part of the dining experience in san francisco is paying a little more to help cover your

server's healthcare. >> we're here today to announce -- >> reporter: but according to the city attorney, many restaurants will be breaking the law. he is now telling nearly 50 of them to clean up their acts or get charged with fraud. >> they charge surcharges to be in compliance with san francisco's universal healthcare law but use little or none of the funds to provide healthcare benefits to employees. >> reporter: he won't disclose the names of the restaurants under investigation but sent out warning letters giving them three months to come forward. we have obtained a list of nearly 100 restaurants including some of the most prominent in the city who reported they collected more in surcharges than they paid to employees, in some cases the difference is more than $300,000. just last week, herrera's office made a deal with a pizzeria fining them more than $200,000. they admitted they hadn't set up employee healthcare accounts in 2009 or 2010 and fell short of the requirements in 2011.

>> we dropped the ball on reporting our health savings accounts to our employees. we solved that problem on our own in 2011. >> reporter: however, they said they set up accounts for employees citing this letter that appears to be an explanation for benefits for the first employee to file a complaint. she says she never got that letter. nor did she get any information from managers despite repeated requests. >> over the course of two to three years, i was asking about it. >> reporter: attorneys at the city confirm the letter freeman showed us never came up in the months of negotiations with the city. they say freeman committed that they never set up a 2009 healthcare account. >> you're referring to paxti's. >> reporter: herrera who initially applauded them -- >> there's an example of how a restaurant stepped up and did the right thing. >> reporter: -- is now reconsidering. >> if they want to void the settlement agreement i'm happy to go to litigation with them. >> after we spoke to the city

attorney, his office gave us this draft of the settlement sent to the pizza place in october. they say the restaurant had months to prove they had abided by the law and wonder why new documents are only surfacing now. go to cbssf.com/consumerwatch for the list of restaurants who have collected more in surcharges than they have actually paid to employees. you may be surprised to see who is on the list. an ingredient is being removed from some gatorade products. it's called bromiated vegetable oil. the ingredients spreads flavor evenly but can be used as a flame retardant. it's used in other drinks as well like powerade and squirt. pepsico the owner of gatorade says the move is in the wake of customer complaints not any health concerns. you'll probably hear a lot about colin kaepernick after the super bowl.

hours a day they were barking at each other in the dark. >> reporter: the animals are calmer now and more sociable. they enjoy their view out the window watching the birds at nearby aquatic park. >> hi, girl. >> reporter: even cranky old blanche has decided it's not so bad to be around people. and it's healthier here, too, because each pen has separate ventilation, there have been no outbreaks of kennel cough or ringworm which plague most shelters. >> or if we were to get an outbreak in this room we can close this room down for the rest of the shelt still functioning. >> reporter: and there's a new clinic complete with operating room and full-time vet tech. animals that used to be trucked out for expensive private vet care can now be treated here at home. >> it's so good for the staff and that in turn is great for the animals and that's great for the community. >> reporter: but no one is happier than greta. she came here missing parts of a leg and today, the staff fitted her with a brand-new prosthetic.

it will take a few months to get used to it but that's not going to slow her down a bit as she waits for a new home. >> with animals like greta and the other animals that are here, the best we can do for them is a facility like this which restores one's faith in the society that can spend some money correctly. >> reporter: in berkeley, john ramos, cbs 5. just in case you forgot, we are your super bowl station. that's right. these children in san mateo are getting into the 49ers spirit. today students at saint gregory's catholic school wore red to school and rallied for the home team during recess. >> i want to say go 9ers and i hope they win. >> good luck. i hope they beat the ravens. >> good luck, and i hope they win. >> go ravens! >> awesome. students in every grade level from first to eighth dressed up

that night he went home and got on social media and started bullying the victim minor again. >> reporter: that's when police again got involved citing the 14-year-old not only for battery but also for cyberbullying. >> we take all incidents of cyberbullying seriously. >> reporter: the principal is now sending a message to parents on the school district's auto dialer system in part saying, the school will work with law enforcement in incidents of student safety when incidents off campus affect school climate. parents say cyberbullying is a serious problem and they are glad police and school officials are involved. >> it's terrible when it happens on the playground. but once a kid goes home, he should feel safe. and, you know, if you can't feel safe at home, what do you have? >> with the internet and instagram and facebook, a lot of kids don't have the policing or discipline at home to really send them down the right path.

fender from the wood exterior to the steel and concrete skirt. remember, these repairs came after that oil tanker the overseas reymar sideswiped the bridge earlier this month. caltrans says it will take a week to get rid of the debris. the whole process of repairing the fender will take 4.5 months. >> going to be a very complex process. as you can see, this is a big structure. and but we have a good team at work on it and we know things are going to be still pretty much on schedule. >> reporter: the estimated cost to fix the bridge is anywhere between $2 million to $3 million. but again, that's just an estimate. that number could change as they continue repair work on that fender. in oakland, cate caugiran, cbs 5. well, with the super bowl comes merchandise lots it and one local t-shirt company is looking into cashing in on the kaepernick craze. cbs 5 reporter patrick sedillo tells us they have plenty of shirts but not enough vendors. >> what are you looking for

>> it's worth it because we have never been to the super bowl so it will be the first time. >> reporter: if they wanted to sell them these folks could make serious dough. super bowl tickets are going for several times face value on resale sites like stubhub which right now has about 3,000 tickets for sale. but prices are expected to fluctuate in the next eight days. >> as you start getting into the beginning of next week, prices will definitely rise. and as you get to thursday, friday, you will see prices start dipping again and as you get into saturday and sunday, in all likelihood you will see prices really decline. >> reporter: with so much money at stake, the nfl is warning ticket buyers to beware of counterfeiters. check the security features on the back like this hologram on the top and this heat sensitive star on the bottom that disappears when you rub it. something these fans don't have to worry about. their only concern? getting to new orleans. >> we have hotel reservations, the car plan, the airline

with almost five feet of new snow in the past few days, you might not think ski resorts are spending much time thinking about making snow. >> well, as cbs 5's allen martin shows us, not every year brings such bountiful snowpack. and resorts are heavily invested so they can cover their assets and mountains when the snow is scarce. >> reporter: money may not grow from trees but does fall from the sky. >> automatically adjusts itself. >> reporter: ski resources are investing millions in equipment and computer technology to prevent losing millions more in revenue when mother nature gets stingy with the snowfall. anybody who lived in california

long enough knows no two winters are the same. this year is shaping up to be a pretty good year over 100 inches of natural snow. last year at this time only 16." that's why they make snow. and resorts now make snow almost anytime the weather is right for it to provide skiers and snowboarders with a fresh topping of powder. heavenly in south lake tahoe has been making snow for 30 years and has the largest snowmaking system in the west. 65 of these high-powered fan guns can turn two-thirds of the mountain's dirt slopes into skiable snow-covered runs. it used to be that someone had to physically be on the mountain and personally monitor each snow gun and weather conditions. now snowmaking has gone high- tech. barrett burkhart who runs heaven le's snowmaking operation doesn't even have to be sitting at the computer. >> from my phone, smartphone, house, i can control the pumps, compressor, the fan guns and just the technology with these kind of takes operator error

are doing well with the snowpack. we are at 97% which is so much better than last year. last january at this time we were at 40% snowpack. but january 1st of this year, we were at 136%. so we are certainly trailing off and with another dry evening, throughout the bay area and the sierra, we are not adding to that snowpack not naturally. coming up tonight with mainly cloudy skies, vallejo down to 46. fairfield 42. 44 for fremont also the mid-40s for pacifica, redwood city and mountain view. two things i want to show you. one, that area of low pressure that gave you in san jose and milpitas and campbell and livermore all that heavy rainfall yesterday, well that heavy rainfall is now in southern california. but that same weather system is the catalyst for the sunshine and mild weather today. how does that happen? when it moves far enough away it takes the clouds with it but we still get the southerly influence. that's were we were mild today. factor in the sunshine and many of you were in the mid- to upper 60s. we look to the north for the next weathermaker where things

typically come fro. a cold front will get here tomorrow. tiny chance of a shower north of the golden gate but we all will get cooler air. 60s tomorrow, no. we'll have highs in the mid- to upper 50s. by the top of next week, we are going to have cold nights lows in the 30s again down near freezing in the inland valleys and highs only in the mid-50s the cooler air moving in starting tomorrow. no more 60s for a while. slight chance of a weekend shower if i had to pinpoint one half of one day that would be the wettest, scattered showers on sunday morning. next week sunny and dry but the nights will be certainly chilly. highs tomorrow mid 50s. livermore 56. san jose 58. mid- to upper 50s for los altos, palo alto, mountain view, milpitas. we are looking at mid-50s for concord and pittsburg, 55 for san ramon. sonoma tomorrow 58 up toward wine country. santa rosa 57. alameda 57 degrees. sunday low 50s chilly day. slight chance of a morning shower. sunshine builds back in, cold nights, 50s for the afternoon monday through wednesday. back to the 60s a couple of degrees above normal next
